Glass
Unveiling the Fragile Realities: System Syn's "Glass" Meaning
Lyrics
I possess no mementos of the time we spent together
I have no keepsakes from our shared past
Whether that's for the better, we best not say
Uncertain if discussing it is advisable
So let's stare at the holes in the back of our heads
Let's focus on the emptiness within ourselves
Through the holes in our hands that we fold to pray
Looking through the vulnerabilities in our hands as we pray
And pretend there is something to mend
Pretending there's something to repair
And then we can admit why we do or we don't give a shit
Confronting the reasons for our indifference
I could say I never cared
Expressing a lack of concern
And I could say I never tried
Claiming a lack of effort
If that would bring you to the place
Suggesting that denial might lead to happiness
Where you could be the happiest
Hoping for distance from the current situation
I hope that's far away from here
No space available beside me
There's no room left by my side
Emphasizing the absence of a void to be filled
There is no void that you could fill
Expressing a lack of desire from the other person
And I want nothing more from you
No additional expectations from the person
You knew all of this would pass
Awareness that all situations are temporary
This whole god damned world wasn't built to last
Reflection on the impermanence of the world
You knew all of this would pass
Reiteration of the transient nature of everything
This whole world is made of glass
Describing the fragility of the entire world
There is no time like the present to predict the past
Emphasizing the importance of present actions in shaping the past
You're so clever, you saw right through
Acknowledging someone's perceptiveness
Everything that we all knew
Recognizing awareness in others
But it's all knew to you so "fuck it"
Indifference towards the newly discovered truth
Just dissolve into your apathetic anthem
Sinking into a state of apathy
And expect the empathy to flow
Anticipating empathy without personal growth
So you can grow to nothing
Expecting personal stagnation
While we fertilize your fears
Feeding someone's fears while providing acceptance
By granting you acceptance
Granting acceptance with the consequence of fertilizing fears
One more year of mediocrity
Accepting mediocrity for another year
And that's good enough to get you through
Deeming mediocrity sufficient for survival
But that's not good enough for me
Personal rejection of mediocrity
And I could say I never cared
Reiteration of a lack of care
And I could say I never tried
Reiteration of a lack of effort
